Excel Add-in Error.

Hi Guys,
I have got the below error when I retrieve the data in Excel add-in:
ESSBASE ERROR:
Essbase has encountered an internal excel error. Your sheet will not be over written and none of your data will be lost. However, you are strongly urged to exit excel and restart in order to clear up the problem.
Many Thanks,

Hi Hari,
We worked with oracle on this , and here are the steps provided by them
If you do not use the Visual Explorer functionality from within Essbase Excel Add-in, you can eliminate the error by renaming two files.
1. Navigate to the \Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin directory
2. Rename the file so the extension is not an executable, i.e. hve.exe to hve.exe.ORIG
3. Rename the DLL file so it is not a valid data link library file, i.e. hve.dll to hve.dll.ORIG
and also bug has been raised with number 8214299.

  • Essbase excel add-on error after installing IR Studio.

    Hyperion software compatibility issues?
    Getting Essbase excel add-on error ("Error 1040007 Cannot find message database") after installing Hyperion Interactive Reporting Studio 9.3.1. We are able to consistently reproduce the error on several workstations.
    Any ideas?
    Thx,
    Ernesto

    Try installing IR first, followed by the Essbase client. I think that worked for us. I can't recall what our path looked like in that scenario I just remember if we did it in that order things worked fine. I think Support said there is no certain "install order" that truly fixes the problem, that you have to manipluate the path by hand. But I'm pretty sure installing IR first worked in our enviro.
    I do not know of a way to install IR Studio without the Essbase components, my understanding from Support is that they changed the product install thinking it was better this way, they learned after the fact it actually causes the problem you experienced. I would imagine they've changed/fixed the install behavior again in post 9.3.1 releases, but haven't heard.

  • ALM Excel Add in error

    Product – ALM
    OS – Windows 7
    MS Office version – 2007
    I have ALM -excel add in installed in my MS excel. When I click on ‘export to ALM’, an error comes up – “compile error in hidden module:CTDServer”
    I went into the VB editor and found that the OTA COM Library is missing. I  tried re-installing the add in and my MS office, but in vain. It seems like the library is getting installed in a different location in XP and in win7. Has anyone installed the add in successfully on a Win 7 machine ? IS there any compatibility issue with Win 7 and MS office 2007 and ALM ?
    Also, i dont have admin rights on my machine.
    Please let me know how to resolve this issue.

    This is rather easy to fix - You may need admin privledges but I dont think do.  Are you familiar with opening up the VBCODE behind MS Excel (Alt + F11)?  We need to make a change there (Refrences change to the TDADDIN) and that will resolve your issue.  I am a QC Admin for a extraordinarily large company with thousands of QC users spread across the globe so I see almost every error imaginable on every type of OS, version of Excel, Windows, you name it and this is a common one but one of the easier ones to fix.  [Personal Information Removed]

  • Excel Add-in error v11.1.1.3

    A user just installed Excel Add-in v11.1.1.3 on her windows XP running Excel 2003.
    She is experiencing an error whenever she tries to print a report from ORACLE ADI. ADI runs for a couple of mins, after which it generates report, that’s when she gets this error message:
    ‘error – excel failed to open’
    I uninstalled Excel Add-in and ORACLE ADI started to generate report fine.
    Maybe a quick workaround would be for her to deregister Essbase when she is not using it?
    Anyone else experiencing this?

  • Essbase Excel add-in error

    We have upgraded to Essbase 6.5.2 and when installing the excel add-in haveencountered the message "R.xls" file cannot be found. Does anyone elseknow anything about this and how to resolve this? The addin works okay,but the users get this message each time they open excel now.JC

    This sounds as if your environment variables are not set correctly or something in your registry has gone astray.I had a similar problem once which was actually caused by another VB application which was removing and adding them back in the add-ins but getting the syntax slightly wrong on the essbase add-in xla's (an extra " being created in the registry).Have you tried completely uninstalling the add-in and re-install?

  • HP ePrint from excel add-in: Error while getting driver name for printer

    Trying to use add-in for ePrint from excel/word I get, "error while getting driver name for printer \\...HP DesignJet 800PS 42 by HP," with an option to select "OK" and that same message repeats with each printer in our network, and then it doesn't allow me to print using the add-in. However, I can print normally to HP Go Web, open up Print and Share,  then print it from there. This happens with excel and word. I have Office Suite 2007.

    Hello modameister,
    Sorry you are having issues with this printer and the ePrint add-on.  There are a couple of questions I would like you to answer please.
    1.  What operating system are you using? (XP,VISTA,7,MAC OS X)
    2.  What and how much data are you trying to print?
    3.  Have you tried to copy and paste the data into a different application or tried using the snip it tool?
    4.  Are you receiving any .dll errors (mscms.dll)
    Thanks
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

    It means something in user profile should be configure to run excel print operation. Could you please somebody help what I need to configure in user profile that makes print operation success?

  • Error message in excel 2003 : compile error in hidden module could be caused by Adobe Acroate add in

    The error message in excel 2003 : "compile error in hidden module AutoExecNew" could be caused by Adobe Acroate add ins, thats waht microsoft told me.I use windows xp service pack3.I have got reader newest version and photoshop 6.0.

    If you have Adobe Reader, you (probably) don't have Adobe Acrobat, a

  • Excel Add-In with WorkbookOpen event causes error in Word

    EDIT: New information
    I have narrowed the problem to a specific code. Following code produces the error message (see below in the original part):
    public partial class ThisAddIn
    private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.WorkbookOpen += Application_WorkbookOpen;
    void Application_WorkbookOpen(Excel.Workbook Wb)
    int i = 0;
    private void ThisAddIn_Shutdown(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    #region VSTO generated code
    /// <summary>
    /// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
    /// the contents of this method with the code editor.
    /// </summary>
    private void InternalStartup()
    this.Startup += new System.EventHandler(ThisAddIn_Startup);
    this.Shutdown += new System.EventHandler(ThisAddIn_Shutdown);
    #endregion
    It does not matter whether I unregister the WorkBookOpen event in the ThisAddIn_Shutdown method or not. Whenever this piece of code is present Word gives me the error.
    It seems to be a bug in Excel. Can anyone test and confirm my assumption? Does anyone know a workaround?
    ORIGINAL
    I have a problem with my Excel add-in (VSTO) in a very specific situation. For some reason I can't debug the add-in when it is happening.
    In Word it is possible to insert and edit OLE objects. In this specific situation a user wants to insert and edit an Excel sheet (INSERT -> Table -> Excel Spreadsheet).
    Let's say that Excel is not running. In an ideal world the Excel process is started by Word when the user edits the spreadsheet. The Excel process is terminated when the Word document is closed. This works fine, if my Excel add-in is deactivated.
    If the Excel add-in is activated the user cannot edit the spreadsheet in Word. An error with following message is shown within Word: "The program used to create this object is Excel. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is
    not responding. To edit this object, install Excel or ensure that any dialog boxes in Excel are closed". Also the Excel process which was started by Word is not terminated when closing the document or exiting Word. Excel started by the user does not give
    any error message. No dialog is opened. The add-in works fine. So there must be an error with the Excel add-in when Excel is started by Word.
    I can reproduce the error with and without an attached debugger (Visual Studio). But for some reason there is no exception caught by Visual Studio while the error is happening.
    Can anyone help me how to investigate on that error?
    Yavuz

    Hi Yavuz,
    Based on my investigatiton, when the Excel doesn't start up by user the add-in would shut down immediately. So when the workbook open event was fired the callback already be relreased.
    As a workaround, we can use application.UserControl to detect whether the Excel applicaiton was started by user. And here is the code for your reference:
    private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    if(Application.UserControl)
    Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.WorkbookOpen += Application_WorkbookOpen;
    Please let me know whether it works for you.

  • BAM add-in error in 32-bit Excel 2010

    Hello All
    I'm trying to work with BAM excel add-in with 32-bit Excel 2010, when I try to open the excel I get the dialog box with "Automation error, Unspecified error", and hit on the OK button, it took me to the following VBA screen, and I try to debug
    it to see where it fails, but it throws the same error again. Any idea what is missing or what is causing this?
    I'm on Windows 7 Enterprise with BizTalk 2010.
    Thanks
    Bhava

    Hi Bhava,
    Fix for this problem is available now.
    Office 2010 w SP1 - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2597986
    Steps to fix the problem manually
    The manual fix for this problem is to re-register MSCOMCTL.OCX. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Open an administrative-level command prompt. The command prompt MUST be on the administrative level for this to work. Click START, and type RUN in the run command line. On Windows Vista and Windows 7 you will see CMD.EXE appear in the quick search list.
    Right click CMD.EXE and left click Run As Administrator. A black command prompt opens. On Windows XP, there is no built-in run-as-admin, but you can use the run as menu option (or runas command line) to execute an admin command from a Limited User Account.
    2. If on a 64-bit machine, type the following:
    regsvr32.exe /u  C:\Windows\SysWOW64\MSCOMCTL.OCX
    Hit ENTER
    then type
    regsvr32.exe  C:\Windows\SysWOW64\MSCOMCTL.OCX
    If on a 32-bit machine, type the following:
    regsvr32.exe /u C:\Windows\System32\MSCOMCTL.OCX
    Hit ENTER
    then type
    regsvr32.exe C:\Windows\System32\MSCOMCTL.OCX
    Your Excel  BAM Addin should work again after doing this.

  • Issue with Excel add in

    Hi Experts,

    "Essbase has encountered an internal Excel error. Your sheet will not be overwritten and none of your data will be lost. However, you are strongly urged to exit Excel and restart in order to clear up the problem"
    Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Essbase client and also tried with essbase add in version 9.3.1.3, but nothing worked.
    Please let us know your thoughts on the below issue.

    I, too, would recommend rebuilding the workbook.. Excel workbooks can get some funny behaviors, particularly if they contain VBA code. VBA in Excel stays 'semi-compiled' and never really clears itself out and a bunch of phantom references remain (and are completely hidden). I have seen some very strange behavior cleaned up by rebuilding the workbook..
    My old friend, Excel MVP Rob Bovey, has a utility specifically built to rebuild workbooks at http://www.appspro.com/Utilities/Utilities.htm.

  • BPC for excel Add-in Conflict

    Hi,
    I'm trying to find out if there any known excel add-ins that conflict with BPC for Excel (v7) and how the conflicts manifest themselves.
    I am currently specifically interested in conflicts with SAP BW BEx Analyser but would be interested in any others also.
    Would be grateful if anyone could shed some light on this.
    Many thanks

    Usually, Crashing means excel will show crashing error message and restart it.
    Excel will just return excel error message. NOT BPC or 3rd Party ADD_IN error message because it happened at the EXCEL while it is processing request from BPC addin and other 3rd partty Addin. (Of course BEX is SAP product. that's why BPC NW support BEX report in 7.5 but still it is not fully integrated with MS.)
    Sometimes it happens when retriving data from BPC or sending data. As you know those are critical functionality of BPC.
    Again, it depends on the addin but based on my experience, Hyperion Addin and BEX addin had a problem when it runs together with BPC addin.  some simple addin might not have any issue but still recommendation is not using 3rd party addin because we don't know where the error comes.
    Thank you.
